marcoujor: Musical Intermission - "P"

"I hope your only rocky road is chocolate." -- Amanda Mosher

I debated on starting off this week's post with this quotation.

​Don't get me wrong, chocolate and ice cream are two of my favorites. And I am a lover of laughter, humor and a light heart whenever possible.

​Yet my heart and thoughts are with many of my dear friends who have recently lost a special person in their lives or who have family members who are seriously ill.

So I'd like to reframe this quotation if you are reading this with a heavy heart:

​
"I hope this rocky road is surrounded by those you love and everything that makes you smile." -- mar   

Something Old:

​The core of my musical heritage is southern rock. Creedence Clearwater Revival was alive and kicking from 1967 - 1972, so my young ears were "all ears" to them. This was also my first introduction to the unmistakable sounds of lead vocalist, John Fogerty.​
Something New:

​Lori McKenna has been around since 1998, although she is a brand new artist to me. When I heard this song "People Get Old", I sobbed long and hard - still get misty eyed at the universal truths in these lyrics with Lori's sweet, southern sound. 

Something Borrowed:

​
In the late 1980s, my (soon-to-be) husband and I took dancing lessons with "Saint" Joan. I developed a serious love of musical power houses like Ella and many others featured throughout this series. "Puttin' On The Ritz" is one of those songs that forces me to dance (even if in my mind...)!
Something Blue:

​Thomas, I can feel your smiles from the south. I'm finishing up the "P"-songs with some powerful guitar plucking and the phenomenal pipes of Keb' Mo'.

    Welcome to my desk...

    I am a work in progress, so a rule of thumb is to expect the unexpected every week!

    Pull up a comfy chair and make yourself at home.

    Thank you,
